How man emails do you deal with professionally?

As it pertains to your job email, how many emails do you get in a month (disregarding spam)?

Obviously this is targeted at White Collar desk jobs, but all are welcome to answer. Not counting private emails that you also use for work, unless you can separate the metrics.

Looking for an actual metric and not estimates, we’re talking about emails, its pretty easy to get an actual count.

If you leave it unread, it doesn’t count

When I'm drawing 2-3 a month, the job, and maybe 1 or 2 on price. When I'm acting as PM or GM a lot.

I will say that my company uses G-app suite (i.e. corporate Gmail). And the "priority inbox" is the only thing saving me from spending 1/3 or my day sussing through email.

Not necessarily, but overall relevant, as in needs to be read. Especially as you cannot leave mail unread, without possibly forgoing particularly important correspondence.

200 a day? 20 days a month? Less than 5k. Most have zero to do with me, other than cover their asses by CCing me, just in case.

I do a mass purge monthly on the 15 this is from December 15th to now. I would say 30% is just system messages about various processes, 20% I am CCed on and no response needed and the rest I have to respond to.

Oh man, I'd rather deal with emails than talk to someone on the phone.

Why would I answer the phone? Lol, that I dont even turn on.

There are only maybe half a dozen people that would send me an email that mattered. Most of the time people will send a msg on skype before emailing.

I dont get that many any more, used to be 20+ a day, now its maybe a dozen. For a few years I was getting 50+ and occasionally 1000+ in a hour when someone would get cute and hit "Reply All".

I think someone finally disabled it tho, it hasnt happened in a while.

I've heard our mgrs (who are really some weird sort of admin function nobody can quite understand) get over 50 a day. GOd only fucking knows regarding what.

Disregarding spam is a big caveat. I have most of my boss's emails redirected to the spam folder. Infact, I don't think I've had a relevant email for years until I started complaining about covid rules. I know for a fact that one of my boss's is triggered that people haven't aknowledge read-receipts or even looked at his emails in 15+ years, which is why his pure emails lay untarnished in the depths of my inbox and spam folder.

This is the way

Coupled with never answering the phone it has a pretty high success rate. The only way through is to actually come visit my office in person, and aint nobody got time for that
